How to tell if a file is closed

Hi,
There is a simple technique. Suppose you open a file called
hello.dat. Define your own file closing function, say, Closer(FILE*).
The Closer() function should close the file hello.dat and if it is
properly closed, create a new file called hello.dat.closed.
Your main program need only test for the existance of
hello.dat.closed.

Apologies for puuting this on the root page where this note doesn't really
belong,

Chris
